Abstract

The invention relates to a rapid subsidence thermoforming mold and a thermoforming method of an aluminum alloy section and in particular relates to the thermoforming mold and the thermoforming method of the aluminum alloy section. The invention aims at solving the problems that the heating efficiency of the existing subsidence thermoforming of the aluminum alloy sections is low, the entire production process is low in efficiency and not suitable for mass production due to the fact that local heating of the large aluminum alloy section is difficult. The rapid subsidence thermoforming mold comprises a male mold, a female mold, a contact-type electrode, a contract-type thermocouple, a pulsed power supply, a PID control system and a section blank. The rapid subsidence thermoforming method comprises the following steps of: placing the aluminum alloy section on the mold, carrying out rapid local heating on the section by virtue of pulse current assisted with self-block heating, and carrying out subsidence thermoforming to form a product with a desired shape by virtue of pressure. By utilizing the rapid subsidence thermoforming method, the heating efficiency can be improved by 300%-500%, the thermoforming cycle is shortened to 10-50 seconds, and the energy utilization rate can be improved by 200%-400%. The rapid subsidence thermoforming mold and the rapid subsidence thermoforming method are applied to the aerospace field.
